Airlines Strike In Seventh Day WASHINGTON UPI — The nationwide airline strike entered its seventh day with five of the nation’s biggest airlines and the machinists union still far apart on terms today. Joint negotiations between the striking International Association of Machinists (LAM) and Eastern, United, National, Northwest and Trans World Airlines were to resume. The resumption of the talks was scheduled to begin at 10 a. m. EDT. For a brief time Wednesday evening hope flared that the airlines were moving to narrow the difference between their contract offer and the union’s demands. Assistant Labor Secretary James J. Reynolds canceled an evening bargaining session to attend a meeting requested by airline management officials. There was speculation the airlines might be considering some change in their offer to the 35,400 IAM members. But when contacted late Tuesday night after the meeting, Reynolds declined comment and answered no questions on the strike’s status. At a mid-day news conference he had said both sides were "still far apart” in their talks. The negotiations had reached the serious stage, he said, after a week of what he termed a "ridiculous situation.” Meantime, 60 per cent of the nation’s airline traffic remained grounded, inconveniencing scores of thousands of vacationers and business travelers. The five lines cany 150,000 passengers a day. Salary Raises For Penal Guards INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Salary increases for guards at four Indiana penal Institutions were announced Wednesday by Governor Branigin, who said the pay raises were aimed at ending a severe manpower short-

age.

The increases amount to at least $30 per month for current employes, and raise the minimum starting wages by 380 at the state prison, reformatory, farm and youth center. The minimums were increased from 3325 to 3405 per month. All correctional officers at the institutions will receive at least 330 more per month, but 311 of 677 will get more than that. These are the ones at the bottom of the pay brackets and It will take more than 330 to bring them up to the new minimum. The Indiana Department of Corrections said currently there are 75 vacancies for guards, including 37 at the state prison. Vacancies at the reformatory amount to 19, while the youth center is short 14 and the state farm 4.

One Problem In Final Test Of Gemini 10 CAPE KENNEDY UPI— Project engineers today searched for the cause of the only problem that cropped up during the last big test on the gemini 10 spaceship before Monday’s planned launch of astronauts John Young and Michael Col-

lins.

The 13-hour test that electronically checked the 109-foot space machine during a series of simulated flights was completed at 12:15 a. m. EDT today. Except for one hitch, the space agency said, the drill went well. The hitch involved an erroneous guidance signal received by a computer in the spacecraft during the final minutes of a mock countdown. Officials said they did not consider it a major problem, but it had not been resolved. The trouble involved the same system that forced a two-day delay in last month’s Gemini 9 launch. However, a space agency spokesman said engineers were confident the problem could be corrected without interfering with Monday’s launch

date.

Weather, however, posed a potential threat. Tropical storm Celia popped up in the Atlantic Wednesday about 1,000 miles southeast of Gemini 10’s landing zone. The storm was moving in a northwesterly direction at about 15 miles per hour. The labor situation at the Nearby Merritt Island moonport settled down today. About 1,500 construction workers walked off their jobs Wednesday and joined 1,100 machinists union members who have been on strike since last Friday. Young and Collins, who face one of the most ambitious and busiest missions yet attempted, spent almost four hours in their capsule during the afternoon, putting it through its paces. Backup astronauts Alan Bean and Clifton Williams also participated. The flight of Gemini 10 Is scheduled to get underway at 6:21 p. m. EDT—101 minutes after Gemini’s Atlas - Agena rendezvous rocket is launched. Pollution Bill Passed By Senate WASHINGTON UPI—Disregarding what it considered a meager administration proposal, the Senate Wednesday approved a giant 36 billion bill for water pollution. By a vote of 90-0, the senators sent the measure to the House Public Works Committee, which is expected to greet it with enthusiasm. The bill would provide 31 billion a year for six years to conduct a variety of regional antipollution programs. The administration’s request was for only 350 million to study creation of a river basin control system. The Senate measure includes creation of a revolving loan fund to help local communities underwrite their share of treatment plants and other facilities. Federal grants would also help state and local governments with their programs.
